Your phone has full Internet access with a strong signal. Try opening a web page to make sure.

Your phone can receive international SMS messages.

You’re not using an unsupported device such as an iPod touch or iPad.

Your device isn’t jailbroken.

After you enter your phone number, please wait for an SMS to be delivered to your phone. The SMS will contain a 6-digit verification code, which you can enter on the verification screen in WhatsApp. The verification code is unique and changes each time you verify a new phone number or device. Please don’t guess the verification code as you may be locked out for a period of time.

If you don’t receive your code via SMS, our automated system can call you with your code. Please wait for the five minute timer to finish counting down and do not edit your number during this time. After the five minutes, tap Call Me.
